01 // [ ???? sms: ] i can't sleep. i blame you.
02 // [ ???? sms: ] i hate everyone. but not you.
03 // [ ???? sms: ] this is me asking you out. want to get coffee tomorrow?
04 // [ ???? sms: ] want to make a beautiful memory together?
05 // text her.

For what now? Don't I get enough of that lately?

(....he also realized he should rephrase that like five seconds later.)

Make that, what's my crime now to you.

(for starters, he knows he isn't exactly home. duty calls, the nature of the undead freaks he deals with often means long nights and even longer ones ignoring the burn of his throat from thirst. it's not abnormal for him to not involve her more. their problems are different, despite glaring similarities and zero choosing empathy over apathy in his realization on the subject. he wants to say it's better this way. at arms length, but with something more frightening. understanding.)

1) i can’t see you right now but i bet you look great 2) i just accidentally walked into a pole because i was thoughtlessly staring and smiling at your text messages. 3) can't stop thinking about you. 4) text him!

Wrong a pigeon shit on me first 5min out of my apartment and I had to change in the bathroom and now I do not have a jacket .

[ Attachment: Cockpit selfie taken from above, broad thighs splayed, no jacket. ]

We are stuck on the tarmac for the foreseeable future bc of bird strike so I'm batting 2-0 rn

Be honest do I look cute or do you think pax can tell I'm living in The Birds cinematic universe

I am really not the authority, but I think you look good. Cute, even.

[ he really hesitates to send that, but Freddie said it first, so that means it must be okay? ]

Isn't birdstrike really dangerous? I read a bunch of articles about it after the Sully thing. I'm glad they grounded you.

[ Oh, well, if he's going to softball in an opportunity to show off a little... ]

Nah you don't need to worry about me. Semi-common occurrence. The A350 has twin engines, it can still generate enough thrust with just the one. They mostly just have to scrape the bird parts off so they can tell if it was endangered
Planes are way tougher than people think they are, honestly. I made a landing with 2/8 on fire one time when I was still in.

[ And yes, he is pocketing that compliment to think about later. Correct response, Shane. ]

Okay but you aren't my team pilot and I fly a lot. I cannot over-state how often I fly during a season. So now I've got that to worry about.

[ Uh oh sisters it's the perfect opening to dive into explaining his very specific interest!!

—and, also, he really doesn't want Shane to be disproportionately worried now just because he nonchalantly mentioned something that, from the outside, probably sounds pretty terrifying. ]

Seriously, don't even worry about it. It's way easier to get your PPL than to actually get them to let you fly a widebody, but if they get through all the training and checkrides, they're more than qualified to get you where you need to go. We have specific training for how to deal with that and pretty much every other worst case scenario. And a lot of these guys are former military.

[ Well, less so with private pilots than corporate ones, but there are some. ]

Seriously if it would make you feel better you should swing by my place sometime when you're in town. I'd be glad to show you exactly what it looks like from our point of view on the simulator.

[ What do you do when you grow up lower-middle, have your debt waived by PSLF, and suddenly start pulling in half a mil before taxes?

New York rent, hobby supplies, nice clothes, and an elaborate setup to emulate your job on your time off, in Freddie Lavoie's case. Doordash, too, but that's off the record. (And as for the gaming rig with wraparound screen, chair and seatbelt, rudder pedals, throttle, yoke, the works— it's different. He gets to fly other planes on his gaming rig.) ]

[ Shane is a full grown man, which means he doesn't get wistful over another full grown man info-dumping to him about a topic he doesn't know much about. He does smile to himself as he scrolls through Freddie's messages. Feels a little thrill at the offer. It's enough to prompt his best friend and team mate to ask him just who he's talking to, which prompts Shane to throw a pillow at him ]

Okay, so I'm perfectly safe. But the birds definitely aren't.

[ Warning bells go off in his head at the offer, but he tries to banish them. Freddie is a nice guy, and it's very reasonable and heterosexual to go to a guy friend's place to learn more about his job. Plus, his therapist keeps telling him to make friends who aren't involved in hockey, this would definitely satisfy that and lead him to getting a gold star in therapy (a thing that is reasonable to want and possible to achieve). ]

That would be cool, next time I'm in NYC. Would you want to come to the game then? If it's not imposing.

1. Is this a dagger in my pocket or am I just happy to see you?

2. If we came across a ruin guard, I’d let you take the first blow.

3. Would you be interested in signing up for my “special training”?

4. I like you, so I’ll at least let you know to look out for traps. Doesn’t mean I’ll tell you where I set them.

[One would call it desperation. Unicron calls it an experiment, a perfect opportunity to test a wearable device that would significantly improve his QoL if successful.

Successful being the key word.

Would anything come from a 12 million year old widow attempting to flirt text in Bakerstreet? Only one way to find out…]

1: I hunger… for you.

2: You fill me with your presence, now allow me the pleasure to ‘fill’ you.

3: I desire chaos, but I desire you more. What do you plan to do about it? 4: (text him?)

Edited 2026-05-02 17:15 (UTC)

1. i would flirt with you, but i’d rather seduce you with my awkwardness.

2. i'd rather do nothing with you than something with anyone else.

3. you never text first. i can’t tell if you hate me or if you’re playing hard to get.

4. i can't help but smile every time your name pops up on my screen. My sister is starting to get suspicious.

5.[Text her!]

Honestly, I can't imagine why you'd try either of those with me.

a. you have to stop looking at me like that.
b. you're quiet today. what are you thinking about?
c. it's late, but i want to see you.
d. or bring your own!

i] this is you [attachment.png]

ii] this is you [attachment.png]

iii] [attachment.png]

iv] You have to come. I need someone to glance at when other people inevitably annoy me.

v] [text him and/or for prior cr hmu for specific flirt curation(TM)]

The spell calls for a wee amount of bodily fluid. Up for a challenge? There's a reward in it for you, of course.

[ info in journal; down for assumed cr, including romantic relationships for this one! open to things with both a flirty or more nsfw lean, whatever you're feeling. ]

003. I just want to have sex that doesn't end like a B-rated horror movie
004. You just want me for my _____ family and friends reduced rate benefit don't lie
005. According to the Red Cross, I'm not supposed to do anything strenuous for the next 24 hours. That means you're on top, cowboy.
006. [ Attachment: an obvious thirst trap taken uniformed in an airport bathroom. ] Miss you
007. [ M/M — ] Ignoring for a moment that I would be a terrible father, yes, I would love to get you pregnant. You just have to pretend to take imaginary Plan B after
